    Like others have said, grind/polish the surface, hit it with acetone or something similar, etching primer, then paint.

    What are these worth? And a quiz!

    It looks like nylon webbing like you would find used as straps and reinforcement in military gear and backpacks. I pay about 40-50 cents a foot for super high quality 2inch and 25-35 c/ft for the 1inch stuff. That is for brand new top grade stuff though. I would say you have 60-100$ there.

    Why Don't They Sell Tool Cases by Themselves?

    Wiha sells all of their cases open stock. DeWalt hard/soft cases can be ordered through their parts department.

    Anyone use the Dewalt or Ryobi Door Lock kits?

    I picked up something similar to those and it worked just fine. Mine was similar to the ryobi version. After I used it twice I realized that I could have done just about everything with a tri-square faster than with that jig.

    Does a messy shop indicate sloppy workmanship?

    When I start a project everything is spotless, but the work area gets dirtier and dirtier until the job is finished. Once it is done the area is spotless again. The only real exception to that is when I am working with stuff that needs to stay clean, stuff like painting and grime sensitive...

    Dealing with Mosquitoes

    There is not much that you can do after late winter early spring. The best way to deal with them is to treat all standing water in the area before temperatures get to a point that the egg's will hatch.

    I just finished my front brakes and will begin derusting my springs tomorrow. I use a modified computer power supply that I use to use for ham radio.

    Interesting fact about Wera.

    While I do not use any of their insulated tools, I have almost their entire line of ESD safe tools for use on electronics. I have found nothing that works as well and the tips are incredibly durable. Now their magic ring hex tools however... The 'magic ring' portion has a tendency to break.
